It is a Boston channel disguised as a New England channel in order to give Boston a larger TV market. When I called up and asked why CT was included on your channel and why you are broadcast in CT when CT is a part of the NY/NJ/CT tri-state area, they acknowledged that, but said that CT is New England. I then asked "so you are forcing us into YOUR market even though we do not identify with your or want you?" That operator said that he would speak to his superiors and then hung up.
It is also notable to mention that this station DOES NOT broadcast in Rhode Island, which is a clear New England supporter. I maintain that this stations nothing more than Boston propaganda designed to give Boston greater appeal and a larger TV market. They NEED CT for this. CT does not even have the cith of Boston on it's mind. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.182.43.8 ( talk • contribs) 18:16, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
The person in question used to write to NECN regularly with his "theory" that Connecticut is not part of New England. Repeating a lie does not make it so, but his emails were shared with glee among those who enjoyed a good laugh. With respect to RI, Cox Cable controls the state and has run its own "news channel" by showing repeats of WLNE's newscast. It considered NECN competition to this. NECN is now moving into RI via Verizon. And the notion that NECN stopped running "Boston" commercials because of this one guy who keeps calling himself "we" is absurd. NECN evolved a technology that let it better target its ads for locations. Certainly, NECN needed this tech to make local advertising meaningful to those people in the six (count 'em!) NE states. This came about as a result of new zoning tech and not because of one gentleman's odd hobby. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.233.121.135 ( talk) 01:04, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
How is this station still on the air? It can only be for propaganda purposes since it's rating are so low that it is as if the station does not exist. Who is watching this station? I think it is a foolish invention and propaganda of Comcast New England. Comcast seems to think that what Boston does, CT does. Boston has nothing to do with CT as CT is in the New York City region. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.115.236.104 ( talk) 20:58, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
